Bristol is gong great, we are done with 4 rounds of Stock and Super Stock and 1 round of the Factory Showdown cars. The Showdown cars had a rough time getting down the track in qualifying and 1st round.

Photos from round one in Super Stock.... I will have more in a bit.

1st photo... Greg Porter had a competition by, but had trouble after the burnout... he tried to stage but the car jumped forward pass the beams for the loss. 2nd photo... Jeff Longhany gets the win with an open hatch.

Saw an open hatch at Zmax that busted when it slammed shut. Little bitty pieces of glass on the strip.

Great pictures Ken. Looks like you have gotten the hang of the starting lines shots. Thanks for sharing.

Good morning folks, another great weather day for Bristol... but I left yesterday. Anyway, I had a good time as always even though I went out first round. My next race wont be until the D1 points race at Numidia and then off to Columbus for the Jegs Sportnationals.

A quick take, and a little self serving as you can see its a 2008 Cobra Jet, I don't get to see to many of the 08' Cobra Jets. The photos don't do it justice. A father and son team, Kevin and Brandon Daugherty race their 08' Cobra Jet in Super Stock. Brandon, the son is the driver and he also painter. Look for more quick takes on Stock and Super Stock cars from my future "Live Froms".

Thanks for all the great photos. Hoping you don't have much time for pics at the next two races because you're too busy winning rounds. You're due.

Ken, great that you take the time to take such good pictures. Really glad NHRA restored your credentials. Saw that tough red bulb yesterday morning, the car obviously liked the cool Bristol air, 160 MPH on nine inch tires still gets my attention. Bristol has always been a special place, wish I could have made it myself. Hopefully will see you at Numidia.
